Surrey Lookup Requests / Jacobs family- Merton

« on: Monday 01 August 22 22:34 BST (UK) »

I'm looking for a potential marriage between Benjamin Jacobs and his wife Catherine in Merton and a possible baptism for him. I have found his will which shows he died in Merton in 1732. It mentions his eldest son, James but I haven't found a baptism record for him. I have baptism records of the following children:

Benjamin 1693
Catherine, 1696
John 1699
Jane 1704

Any ideas?

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Chieveley Marriage Lookup

« on: Monday 01 August 22 18:31 BST (UK) »

I'm trying to find the marriage of Benjamin Jacobs and Martha ?. Their earliest child I can find was baptised in 1757 in St Leonards, Shoreditch so I think they were likely to have married in the 1750s. All of their children were born in London, as was Benjamin. The only possible marriage record I can find is between a Benjamin Jacobs and Martha Quelch in Chievely, Berkshire on 2nd Nov 1752 but this seems a bit unlikely due to the distance. Is anyone able to check the record for me and see if it lists which parishes they are from? Many thanks in advance!

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Dentons of Abingdon/Sutton Wick

« on: Sunday 15 July 18 17:10 BST (UK) »

Hello all,

I'm researching my friend's family tree and have hit a brick wall with this branch. I'm looking for a baptism and marriage record for William Denton born c.1795 in Sutton Wicks.
He married Amelia ? (probably between 1815 and 1820) and had a son William who was baptised 28 Sep 1820 in Saint Dusntan, Middlesex.

I also have the following children born in Abingdon from the censuses but with no baptism records:
George 1826
Sarah 1826
James 1829
Joseph 1833
Charles 1836

I'm also struggling with their son William (born in Middlessex) who married Ann Leonard. She was born c. 1825 in Abingdon but I have been unable to find a baptism record for her.

Any help is much appreciated,

Thank you!

Hi all,

I'm trying to find the parents (and their possible baptisms/marriages) of Thomas Dorsett born c.1775 in Thame and Frances/Fanny Young born c.1771 in Thame. They married 13 June 1803 in Thame.

I'm also looking for a baptism of their son William who was born c.1821 in Chilton.

Many thanks for your help,

Oxfordshire / Richard Hunt and Elizabeth Calcutt/Calcott

« on: Thursday 12 June 14 17:41 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I've been struggling with a branch of my tree for a while, so I ordered a birth certificate to try and identify the mother's maiden name. The certificate shows that the parents were Richard Hunt of Shilton, Oxon and Elizabeth. Elizabeth's name was Calcutt (I think this is correct, although I can't read the certificate very well and it may be Calcott or a similar variation).

Richard was born in Shilton and according to censuses, Elizabeth was born c.1800 in Little Faringdon.
Is anyone able to find a marriage between Richard Hunt and Elizabeth, probably between 1820 and 1828 (the year their first child was born) in Shilton or nearby e.g. Burford or a birth for Elizabeth?

Many Thanks,

Jess

Oxfordshire / Akers of Finstock/Charlbury

« on: Saturday 24 May 14 16:24 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I'm looking for a baptism and marriage for William Akers/Acres born c.1781 in Finstock. His daughter was Caroline Akers born 12 Aug 1821 in Finstock and baptised in Charlbury. On her baptism record her parents are listed as William Akers and Mary, but there are also two other baptisms in Charlbury which I thought might be her sisters, and on those the mother is listed as Sarah:

Elizabeth Akers - 16 Nov 1823
Sarah Akeres - 21 Apr 1819
Caroline Akers- 26 Aug 1821

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N5Y1-5GD

So I think he married a Mary but maybe she was also know as Sarah if the other two baptisms above are related? Would also be great to find a baptism record for him if possible.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Great Barrington area- baptism record

« on: Friday 23 May 14 20:55 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I'm looking for a baptism record for Samuel Tanner born c.1791 in Great Barrington and married Ann Pittaway 9 Oct 1819 in Taynton, Oxon. All the censuses say he was born in Great Barrington, but I've found no record of him, so I was wondering if anyone has any baptism record for him in nearby villages- Little Barrington, Windrush etc.?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bedfordshire / Illegitimate child?

« on: Thursday 12 September 13 12:07 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I have a Mary Gobby born c.1796 in Lidlington, the wife of William Lawson. She was baptised 28 Feb 1796 in Lidlington and her mother is listed as Sarah Gobby. No father is mentioned, so I was wondering if she might be illegitimate or maybe her that was her mother's married name and her father was dead? Is there any way of finding out?

I found these other children but I don't know if they're related:

Richard Roe Or Gobby
christening:   6 November 1785   LIDLINGTON,BEDFORD,ENGLAND
